What's Wrong?

SSH connections added via the environment dropdown (+ Add SSH connection) appear in the dropdown persistently, but there is no UI to edit or delete them. Hovering over a saved SSH connection does not reveal a gear icon or any management controls, unlike the "Local" environment which shows a gear icon on hover.

What Should Happen?

Hovering over a saved SSH connection (or right-clicking) should reveal options to edit or delete it, consistent with how Local environment management works.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the environment dropdown in the Claude desktop app
  2. Click "+ Add SSH connection" and add one or more SSH connections
  3. Try to edit or delete a saved SSH connection
  4. No edit/delete option is available — connections can only be selected, not managed

Claude Model

None

Is this a regression?

Yes, this worked in the previous version

Last Working Version

Additional Information

No management UI is present for saved SSH connections. There is also no documented file path where these connections are stored, making manual editing impossible.

This appears to be a missing feature / UX gap rather than a crash-level bug. Users who add test/incorrect SSH connections have no way to clean them up short of possibly clearing app data.
